to mention. The writer was wheeled
through fifteen miles Of streets and roads

ing goes, the "Fort +" We believe Fort
Worth has more miles Of street railway,

else, except meannessl, than any city in
the state.
At the close Of the evening session,
Hon, 3. B. Paddock, president of the
Fort Worth and Rio Crsnde Railroad,
took charge Of the fsber brigade. He
first mounted the bows or street cars that
wheeled them TO the depot. where they
were mounted on 6 new train Of fne pas
senger coaches on his new rOed for g ride
to the terminus. Tie road is new, but
in splendid trim; it Yves thirtv-siX miles
to the terminus on the bluff overlooking
the BraZos, where 8 big iron bridge sixty
five feet up in the blue ether is to be
built, which will let the road in to Gran
bury. At the terminus spes ches were
made by Mr.. Paddock, Henry Furman
and others. The return trip was made
late in the evening, and the whole crowd
said that Paddock and his road were mas
tiers of the situation.
After the night session closed the audi
ence was ushere6 into carriages and street
cars and taken 10 the pavilion ct the fair
grounds, where plimert ary hop had
been arranged by the Fort WORTH GA
ZETTE to the Texas press. The young
editors and the elite of Fort Worth
wheeled and whirled in the giddy mazes
of the dance, while the sober, staid and
pious editors ate ice cream, cakes and
other good things, which We're provided
in abundance. Time was
precious, and we had to bid adieu to the
generous city and wheel toward Fort
Worth. The delay necessitated an in
crease of speed, and we were Whirled
along the track st lightning speed
until the Fort was reached, just as the
great king of day was sinking in the
western deep blue zenith. and the golden
rays were gliding the spires of the great |
city, where once the panther lay down n |

complete establishment of the kind in the
south or west Here the slght-seers took
! peep through magnificent building,
with three stories and basement, and a
storage capacity OF ll0, 900 square feet.
| From basement to dome it was stocked
with everything that belongs TO q great
wholesale grocery business, and everything
moved on with perfect system. Two or
three elevators transported their cargoes
of living freight from floor TO floor, as
the delighted visitors were endeavoriDg
to make an occular diagnosis CT the stu
peudOus building. From here the literary
legion proceeded 10 the factory Just in the
rear CT the store and witnessed the pro-
cess Of manufacturing baking powders,
candy, Chewing gum, vinegar and the cele-
brstej Sultan rOhstedCOffee. After Teasing
on candy and the Indispensable gum, the
lions OF the hour were taken in carriages
by the representative men and driven
over the city, visiting the refrigerator,
weterWOTkS, public school buildings and
other places OF interest in the young
giant of North Texas.
Fort Worth has more miles OF paved
streets, more miles OF water mains, and
more miles OF street car lines than we had
any idea of, and the elements of pros-
peritY are numerous on every hand Five
splendid public school buildings, large
number OF fine churches Of nearly every
denomination, three tirst-Class hotels and
. number of smaller ones, Z CommOdious
opera house complete in its appointments,
and an imposing clubhouse nearing COM
pletiOn, together with many other ele-
ments OF modern advancement, are among
the numerous creations of the city's
handiwork that stand as living monu-
monts of the enterprise of Fort Worth.
Captain Paddock rendered the ass0cia-
ton the cCurtesies Of his road, the Fort
Worth and Rio Grsnde, for an excursion
out to the terminus, distance of thirty
six miles. His kindness vas accepted by
about seventy-tive of the crew, and
pleasant time it was. Captain Paddock
made rough-and-resdy speech and
Henry Furman gave his experience ia
journalism, which was brief but full OF
adventure.
OF the hop ct the Pavilion it is enough
TO say that it was under the auspices Of
TIE GAZETTE. No better evidence of
its success could be given.
As the gay crowd went Whirling aWav
into the Indian Territory to Catch some Of
the inspiring echoes from the mountains,
ye scribe returned home, glad to have
met the members Of the press and the
citizens Of Fort Worth.

AT FORT WORTH.

Meridian Citizen: The meeting of the
editors, proprietors and publishers of
Texas at Fort Worth last week practically
and impressively demonstrated the
measure of esteem in which the press is
held by the people as the supreme factor
in building cities and industries, and in
promoting, conserving and protecting the
liberties Of the people and the best
interests of mankind. It should not be
questioned that the enterpTisiug and
progressive population of Fort Worth is
keenlY sIiye to the value of printers ink,
nor IS there reason to doubt that its
intelligence is above the standard of just
appreciation of the power Of the press TO
successfully, and safely handle the social,
moral, material, political and educational
problems OF the country. Fort Worth is
largely indebted, as Is indeed every other
city of pretepse or prosperity ia this
broad land, to the tlCt, acumen, energy,
vigilance, enterprise ana influence OF &
well regulated press; and it Is not
strange that she should rejoice in tue
opportunity to ackEoWi .se.ge that indebt-
ednegs in giving warm and generous
welcome to the toilers of the sanctUm,
and formally paying tribute 10 the magic
force that has converted the lair OF the
panther into city of magnafcent proper
lions, vast wealth, superior culture, and
commerce.

greeting and princely entertainment, is TO
convey but meager conception OF their
methods and their manners, their kindly
treatment and their eXuberant overflow
Of generous heart gifts. Their attentions
from the first warm, vigorous welcoming
grip at the depot to the last goodbye,
were attuned and played upon the high
est and richest key, and if any guest was
neglected it was his or her own fault.
On this line they did their whole duty, and
when the time came to exhibit the mag
nificence of their creation, they proved
themselves adopts in mingling business
with pleasure. In force and with hume
rous splendid private teams and vehicles
they assumed control of the entire
"gang," seized the Teins and wheeled
hundred or more-qUiL drivers away over
their smoothly paved streets, first to the
largest aud best appointed grocery house
west ef the Mississippi, where the plain,
transformations, courteous proprietor, JG-
seph II. Brown, gave them polite atten-
ton, carried them through his mammoth
emporium and showed them e world of

was west, northeast, south and central

been seen and the last Industry ia

lossal wholesale ana palstisl retail dry
goods and clothing houses, the immense
grocery establishments, the Hardware and
implement wholesalers, the furniture
dealers and the multitude of superb mer-
camille places that line the beautiful
streets, what most attracted and amazed
the bewildered visitors were the elegant
and costly residences ali along the ex-
tended ride, and the tremendous en-
hRrcement il resl values. Lands that,
three years ago could have been pur-
chased for SIP to S25 per acre have,
within the last four or six months, been
sold for $500 10 $500 per acre, and are
now held at $500 to $500 per acre. New
lines of street railway built, and new su-
burban towns are in process of rising up
ell around the main city. WeatherfOrd
street is being extended to q length OF
seven miles and mCnied sYndicates are
building towns at either end. North,

| Bismarck Tribuue.l


The latest railroad news of interest in
Bismarck is to the effect that the Northern
Pacific will complete its LaMoure branch
to Bismarck during the present year.
Twelve engineers have rented rooms in
LaMoure for the summer, and on Satur-
day last started number of men at work
cross.sectloning and driving grade stakes,
and they are now operating in LaMoure
county. They will have this work COM
pletcd to Bismarck at an early date, and
it now looks as though the Northern Pa
cific will have southeastern road to
Bismarck about as soon as any of the
lines now pointing for this the future
railroad center of the Northwest. The
completion of this branch will give the
Northern Pacific line from St. Paul to
Bismarck nearly 100 miles shorter than
the present route, and will give Bis.
marck the advantage of this obliteration
of distance. 1t is said by those who are
in position to know that the LaMoure
line will in time be the main line from
this city to St. Paul, as the Northern Pa
cifc, instead of going back to its present
main line at Fargo, will continue directly
southeast to St. Paul, via Little Falls.
This, of course, is in the future but that
the LaSloure branch will be completed to
Bismarck during the present year is now
an admitted fact.

Mark Twain's Call at the Capitol.


Mark Twain and George w. Gable dined
with the Governor yesterday and made a
tour of the Capitol. An amusing incident
occurred in the course of their travels.
They entered the Acknowledgements Office
to pay their respects to that official in the
afternoon. The Adjutant- General was
out at the moment, and the party, which
included others than the distinguished
gentlemen named, disposed themselves
about the Office in easy positions to await
General Farnsworth's arrival. Mark
Twain with his usual sang froil, sat down
careiessly on one of the Adjutant- Gen.
erals official tables. The party were
chatting cheerfully and conducting them.
selves peacefully when dozen clerks and
deputies of the department. came rushing
into the office, and with unusual vehemence
asked what was wanted. None of the
visiting party seemed to understand the
situation. An Investigation disclosed the
fact that Mark Twain, by accident OF de-
sign, had planted himself squarely on
long row Of electric buttons and thus set
ringing as many call bells.

A Proven Theory.
TChicago Herald,1

It has long been laid down as an axiom
in diamond lore that the precious stoneIwas
capable o: absorbin. rays of light and af-
terward emitting them in the dark. While
this was abundantly proved by theory it
has been difficult to put it to an actual test,
Cor naturally the great diamonds of the
world are not accessible for that purpose.
Recently, however, q private person, the
fortunate possessor of stone of ninety
two carats, valued at 100000, lent his dia-
mond for scientific Investigations. These
have been very satisfactorily conducted,
and the phosphorescentz qualities of the
stone may beregarded as proved. The stone
was exposed for an hour to the direct &C.
zion of the SUMS rays, and then removed to
d dark room. For more than twenty min
ates it emitted light strong enough to
make sheet of white paper held near It
perfectly visible.
